Thanks! Wish I could do it full time like you do. Glad it has worked out for you.

@@Triggered-RC It's a long hard road for sure and I've not made it yet. Really that's when you hit 70,000+ subs with comparable views. Keep at it!

How important do you feel that little bit of rear suspension is over the "first" version of this car? I am mainly going to run in very smooth lots, tennis and basketball courts, no racing, no carpet and rather infrequent use as I am mainly a buggy guy. Thanks

@@anthonymiller8979 I don’t have the first version of this car, but my guess is that it could only help. I don’t think racing the 2 versions back to back with the same setups would produce vastly different lap times, but I would expect that even on the hardest and smoothest of tracks, that the rear suspension would help keep the rear tires better planted and should improve handling enough to have a faster time.

@@Triggered-RC Thanks, pretty much decided today to go with the sprung version

Do you have an issue with the chain making contact with the battery or parts if the chassis?

[@Triggered-RC]

The tape holding the battery in goes over that area of the battery. Doesn’t cause a problem as the chain is not rough. Doesn’t even wear the tape out.

What did you use to measure the speed?

[@Triggered-RC]

SkyRC GPS. “Gsm020 GNSS Performance analyzer”

Not too interested in this car but a stunning paint job :-) 🤩

[@Triggered-RC]

Thanks!

Will the chain rub the chassis the whole time?

[@Triggered-RC]

Some tape across the top of the battery, no problem. The chain is more like a jewelry chain than a typical gear chain, so it doesn’t have sharp edges gouging out anything.

[@MeinNameistFlo]

@@Triggered-RC That sounds sketch, but as long as it works it's fine

[@Ubergamer256]

deee-kal not deck-all 👍

Ok enough with the body and paint

[@Triggered-RC]

A bit long winded, but painting this was what garnered the most comments and questions from people on Facebook. I waited days until the weather was warm enough to do the job, and it turned out to be the most frustrating part of the build. I almost feel like getting another body and trying again. Maybe in clear pink… 😅
